"A closely watched survey released Monday by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) shows that companies plan to increase hiring of new graduates by 5.6% this spring compared to last year. This is a sharp reversal from November, when employers were bracing for a pullback, projecting flat or declining entry-level hiring amid economic uncertainty."
"Despite these factors, large firms like McKinsey and IBM have upped their entry-level hiring goals this year. McKinsey intends to increase hiring in North America by 12% this year and grow its number of entry-level hires."
"AI will restructure some of the work McKinsey's entry-level consultants perform, Blair Ciesil, a McKinsey partner leading global talent attraction at the firm, told the Journal. 'We think the work is going to continue to be even more important, but the nature of it is going to shift.'"
